    What race in particular is being discriminated against by Spanish Flu or Chinese Virus? Are you bigoted enough to think Spain and China are actual races? You need to be aware that they are just countries, not races. I hope this helps clear up your deep confusion.

    Nope, no agenda here. Just calling it for what it is. The evidence is there that proves beyond any reasonable doubt that’s exactly what he was talking about. He called him a racist because of the travel ban, and had to eat his own words later.

    you're just into science fiction too much.
    All you got is 1 tweet.... lol ... 1 tweet... without any reference to a travel ban.

    Nothing fiction about this at all. It’s simply the objective fact, he called Trump a racist over a travel ban and then had to eat his own words later.

    Yes, that one tweet is more than enough for any reasonable person to reach this obvious conclusion.

    Yeah, she pretty much drove home the point that San Fran is racist.

    Nope it was the reason he tweeted his comment right after the ban was announced

    You're evidence is 1 tweet where you had to make up that it was about the travel ban.
    That's calling what it is.

    Still not seeing that his tweet was about some travel ban. Maybe if you claim it again, than it will appear. lol

    Didn’t make it up at all, it is very clear it was about the travel ban.

    I claim it because it is true, you pretend not to see it because you simply dont want to. Not my fault.

    When all shops are open, ad you're being harassed because you're ethnic Chinese, and you see you get 75% less customers... yeah... some people have a hard time accepting what racism is.

    People get harassed regularly for many reasons, including being white. Avoiding Chinese restaurants is not racist either, as there is certainly an increased liklihood of them having family from china that they have recently seen.

    Some people have a hard time accepting racism isn’t the boogeyman they claim it is.

    Since the travel ban is not mentioned in that tweet, and that 1 tweet is all you got,... it does mean you made it up.

    Some people got a problem hearing that they are acting racist, when it's obvious that they are.
    Avoiding Chinese restaurants because you got a problem with the ethnic Chinese who work there, is clearly racist.
    And that was going on in the Chinese district. Pelosi did a good job against racism. And it seems it got you upset a bit there.
    Rather disturbed that you still think it's not racist. Than again,... you invent what people wrote when it's not there either.

    The travel ban is clearly referenced by the tweet, making it more than enough evidence for most reasonable people.

    There is nothing racist about avoiding Chinese restaurants when there is a clearly higher liklihood that they have family they possibly have seen recently that are from china, increasing the possibility of getting yourself infected in doing so. That simply is rational, not racist.

    Pelosi failed to combat racism in her actions, and instead simply promoted the spread of the virus undoubtedly getting many people killed.

    I’m not upset at all, I think you are projecting. But its not racist, you simply see what you want to see, not the reality.

    It’s not complicated, which is why its so astounding that so many continuously see racism where it isn’t.

    There is no reference. You're not able to prove that. lol

    That is racist. Because you made a judgement based on their ethnic background.
    You arguing actually that there is no problem with being a racist. That's something else.

    She was surrounded by ethnic Chinese and didn't got sick. So no fail.

    Me? You're projecting a reference that's not there.
    You're projecting illnesses based on peoples background.
    I'm just calling it out what it is.

    Anything to try and claim people are racist.

    I’d be interested to see a world where democrats didnt use the race card in their arguments. I doubt they would have anything else to offer.

    You keep talking, but all I'm hearing is how the people in Pelosi's district are so racist that Pelosi had to risk her life, plus the lives of everyone else in her district, just to tell them to stop being racists and have some Chinese bat soup.

    And Chinese is not a race any more than American is. It's almost like you're telling us the Chinese people in San Fran aren't Americans. Think about what you say before spouting off Chinese propaganda, words have meaning.

    The reference was clear, even if you are incapable of seeing it.

    It is not racist, its logical to avoid areas that you are likely to get infected, which there is clearly a higher probability at a Chinese restaurant. Nothing racist there, just being rational.

    It was defiantly a fail, she didnt combat racism at all and lead to spreading the virus. Pretty horrible.

    Your claim I am upset is clearly a projection, as there was no other reason to make such a claim. I cant “project an illness”, that makes no sense. Instead what I am doing is making rational decisions about where to get food from based on possibility of getting infected.
